At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. |
2 |
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. |
3 |
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. |
4 |
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. |
5 |
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. |
6 |
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. |
7 |
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. |
8 |
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. |
9 |
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. |
10 |
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
11 |
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: |
12 |
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. |
13 |
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. |
14 |
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
15 |
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? |
16 |
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? |
17 |
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? |
18 |
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? |
19 |
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. |
20 |
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. |
21 |
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
22 |
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. |
23 |
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. |
24 |
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. |
